Her and BOBBY were made for each other.

Constructive criticism I can take, but it's a shame that a lot of people on here don't seem to be able to articulate themselves without being offensive (which speaks volumes about the intelligence levels they seem to think they have), so I'm not going to entertain this chat anymore. It's amazing how brave you can be when you're hiding behind your computer screens and I guess it's just a sad fact of life that there are some people who get their kicks out of scouring the Internet just to be nasty.

Ms. Hanagan, quite simply and with all due respect, you are wrong about pretty much everything.

I guess if I'm alluding to anything, it's that dance music - just like football - is becoming too much about the money. A lot of money. David Guetta himself even admitted to selling out!

"is becoming" is the wrong tense

Damnit I want to tweet but then I give my personal info to TA which I just won't let happen. It's funny because she doesn't realize the PLUR comment was sarcastic and just as "mean" as anything else here.

Also it baffles me that people still think they can join any forum and expect to be just cuddled with. Her attitude is an insult to anyone related to trance music, because it implies we don't have any critical sense and are all just PLUR-loving ecstasy-munching rainbow-licking unicorns.

You need a reality check Ellie. And stop being mean to us on your twitter, or else we'll send Jay, VAR and Miss Pie after you.

Well, if you read some of the really old threads here, this forum did start out that way.

So, yea, I guess she set herself up for abuse but at the same time, after putting in a few shots for good measure, it's much more effective to not always assume OP is a link spam+run kind of poster.

I talked with OP briefly and told her she was in the wrong to just come here and post a link and leave it at that. She came off not being familiar with the forum environment (relative to say twitter/blog world).... I guess that's one thing a lot of us (who have been here a long time) have yet to realize and that is that Twitter-land is much different...you may get the occasional rude comment but since your 'tweets' only go out to your followers or certain hashtags you are insulated. Forums are threaded and discourse is required... merely replying with a "+1" (RT equivalent) does little to move the conversation forward.

That said, some DJs get paid too much for the shit they play but if promoters pay who are we to judge?

Pretty sure it's Bobby Glowstix.

A pop singer, basket player, football player get more money, you are worth what people thinks you are worth, for me may be enough if people attend to a club where i am playing that has 0 cost entry fee , you get paid accordingly to that then and the figure won't be high. But if people are willing to pay 20� to see you without any drink, then you can raise your expectations to a 5 number figure for sure.

About David Guetta, Deadmau5, AvB etc... if people are stupid enough to pay 500� to go to a football match and see just little men 100 meters far away from them kicking a ball then why wouldn't they pay 30� to see a monkey waving their hands? It feels even worthy quality/price.
